A few years ago, our pantry was infested with pantry moths. I'd never heard of the insect, but I soon learned they are almost impossible to get rid of.
Just when we thought we had the problem under control, a resilient insect has made its way back into our home s pantry.
The Pantry Moth or the Indian Meal Moth was a problem for us about 6 months ago and we almost completely got rid of them. Now, these disgusting bugs are back with a vengeance.

Over the winter, we completely emptied our pantry, threw out everything stored in cardboard, and completely sterilized the food closet. Then we added traps we purchased at Lowes that are specifically for Pantry Moths and it seemed like we were in good shape. Then, we started seeing the traps were collecting more of the moths.
